[0.78] Rumor from inside sources at Stardock that tactical system will be significantly improved


A little bird let me know recently that the tactical battle maps will be significantly updated with cover, height differences advantages and other such features. Apparently the team is also considering reducing the number of factions considerably in order to facilitate more differentiated factions. I'm very excited!

If you really got someone from the inside to tell you something that's not public knowledge, why do you repay the favor by blabbering it out on the game's forum? You do realize the source of the leak is probably obvious and this probably isn't a merit for him? For his sake I hope this was intended to go public anyway..

This is disinformation designed to create a following of testers that will lobby for those features.

We shall see...

Hehe ... while it is probably a poster/tester to try and gain a lobby audience like Sean says, I think its possible that its a source that "may or may not be credible" therefore it will appease those looking for better Tactical maps, while also not being 'word of god' therefore no roar of disappointment if they end up not being able to follow through ;)

Definitely from the devs, or their assistants ;)

No, it's totally true! Then Frogboy came and took those changes out for the next version we are going to get: 0.80

 

 

True story!

I believe it's not too far off - I mean we had height differences etc. in WOM so why not have it in FE? But we'll see, patience people.

 

€: and by etc. I mean like terrain bonusses/mali to defence etc.

If we had new maps coming they would probably have shown up in Frog's AI testing demo.

I'll believe it when I see it. I keep telling them to look to FF: tactics for a guide to how tactical combat should be done.. but I meet nothing but silence.

Smells like BS to me also.

 

Also, this guy has very few posts, a "trusted fan" would likely have a lot more posts and constructive suggestions.

 

Also, Stardock isn't going to be reducing factions- that's a bad idea, there's not enough as is.
